Ivan Lendl sees long Andy Murray partnership

Ivan Lendl has claimed that he could coach Andy Murray for the rest of the Scot's career.

Lendl, who won eight Grand Slams as a player, helped guide the 25-year-old to his first major triumph at the US Open in September after his appointment to Murray's team in December 2011.

"As long as it works for both of us, I can see myself being with him for the rest of his career," said the 52-year-old.

"I have a lot of plans where I would like to see Andy end up with his game."

World number three Murray ended the 2012 season with three ATP titles to his name.
